Oval cut. Thanks to its longer shape than the round one, it is extremely when worn as a ring as it creates an illusion of slender fingers. Generally, most women prefer the oval cut because it’s a good alternative for the round cut.

Marquise cut. This cut takes the shape of an oval, only with two pointed ends. Symmetry is important in this type – its trimmings must align and both sides must be almost identical to achieve as classy look.

Pear cut. It’s a mix of the round and marquise cut, and delicate and femme when worn. The teardrop style cut is perfect for those who want a slimming effect on their fingers, as its shape is flattering as well.
